- Thread starter brotkasten
- Start date
Yup, it's very bad.
630 with 8.1 over night - 1% loss
950 with altest build over night - 20% loss
both flight mode and rebooted to test it.

Using the preview builds is a test of patient on 640.
Every time a new build arrives I get an error saying that either there's no space left on the phone, or that the system tried to use the SD card to perform the update but couldn't.
The thing is, I have over 6GB of free space on the device, and over 40 on the SD card, how is that not enough?
And there's no way I'm going to revert back to 8.1 just so I can upgrade, I already did that over 3 times in the last few weeks.

Over at reddit, a bunch of people are reporting this issue. Seems to be related to the new Groove update they pushed out. Hopefully a fix will be out today.
Getting close to the price I can jump on http://www.expansys-usa.com/microso...bKM-pL.lejHkkJWU5JfKM3I_EA&ito=LKSJAF5WzpxbKM

$564 is pretty good. I guess this is the RM1085, single sim variant. I wonder why they sell the RM1116 dual SIM in the US but not in Europe? I would have thought that dual SIM would be more popular in Europe. Is this mostly for the business market where you might have a personal SIM and then a work SIM?

Amazing and exactly what Windows Phone needs imo.
I didn't notice this over the weekend, but I'll watch it today to see how it goes. My stand by battery life has mostly been quite good with the 950 XL, but some games/apps still murder it while in heavy use.
That sounds like a dream, lol. Need that firmware.
Yeah, I'm still waiting on the firmware as well since I'm on the Insider Build.

Which firmware version are you on?

Is this the "Core Build ID" part of the Extras section of Settings?
Mine ends with 15506.02000
So I guess mine is older than yours.
Wait this is the single sim? Does that mean I can get Visual Voice Mail with ATT??

Firmware revision for me ends with 02024. I'm happy with the battery life I get right now, had 99% when I got out of my car this morning and now 8 hours later it's at 75%. Expected worse.

Sorry, I forgot you had a 950.
Microsoft is so cruel.
Have to use Uber today so my sim is back in my Android.
Considering my wife has had her own personal cab driver for the past 12 years or so, I think I'll survive without Uber... but I guess they are popular now.

Because of my Band 2.

has calmed down a bit.
I don't live in a Uber city, so I only use it when I travel, but once I used Uber, taking a cab seems archaic now. I love having the transaction done ahead of time, and the Uber drivers I've had all care about how I rate them, so they were nicer than any cabbie I've ever had. Plus it's been cheaper for me ever time, but I've never used it during surge pricing.
Either way, this sucks. I cant use the m.uber site either because it redirects to the app, which doesnt open.
Yeah, I would probably use Uber if I didn't already have a driver but I've never used them, or tried the app so I can't comment on it's lack of availability.
Have they said why it's down now? Don't they (MS and Uber) have a deal now as well? I know it was pre-installed on my XL.

Uber does food deliveries here in LA too. A restaurant will host an evening and for $10, that restaurant will bring you an appetizer, dinner, and dessert via an uber driver.
We send local taxis to the off license to get booze. A different class.

Is it weird that my version seems/is higher than mine?
What's your full version number?

Strange indeed, 3 different versions in this thread now. But whatever you do, stay on that version, haha.

I remember that thread on the gaming side during Build last year, where everyone thought that Microsoft would finally reveal the App Store for the Xbox One, powered by universal apps.
Good times.

You do know its happening right? I am guessing anytime this year, most likely during build 2016. They already confirmed, W10 apps will be available on every W10 devices.

I'm sure it's happening at some point.
I'm just saying that "wait for Build" is something like a meme at this point. At least in this thread.
Wait for Mango, MWC, MIX, Build, WPC.

haha well ya. I was being sarcastic on my first post. I guess it didn't seem so obvious did it lol.
But ya I know its ridicules. But honestly this year its make or brake for Windows Phone. I am 100% positive if they cant pump out quality OS updates/apps and phones this year than that is it. Satya seems like a guy who wont support product that show no sign of growth.

Finally going with Win10 on Lumia Icon. Lock screen no longer lags which was main complaint. Fast ring so hope nothing breaks.
